Hey Blackhawk Owners!
If the picture loads, please do tell whom owns the two Blackhawk Poison Arrows and the seat information about each of your karts. I got this photo online when I did a search for Blackhawk Kart. The photo showed that it was snapped at Sugar River Raceway in 2016. It shows karts numbered 58, with a lowback seat with a two stroke on the rear and number 3, an early Poison Arrow with a headrest, some red tubes and polished aluminum. Number 3's seat is all black with red piping.
I have six Blackhawk Poison Arrows that all need new seats. One has a lowback seat like number 58, the other five with seats like number 3.
Could you please help out a fellow Blackhawk owner with getting some seats made? I would like to know where you got your seats made and how much it cost. Do you think the person or business that made your seats would make more? Could you put their contact information on here for all Blackhawk owners to see?
Just in case anybody makes the suggestion of contacting Marshall Fairman at Sugar River Raceway about seats, I already did in 2014. He did not have an upholstery place at that time. I tried calling him last night and I have not heard back from him yet.
I am about to measure my one seat I have and start making patterns, which I would then take to an upholstery place. Does anybody have seat patterns for these seats? That would help if I could borrow or copy the patterns. Any help is truly appreciated. Thank you.
Kind Regards,

Hey Vintage Karters!
Here is my one Blackhawk Poison Arrow seat. I want to have a new replica seat made so I can retire this one.
When I get an upholstery place onboard, then I want to have some fun with the seats, maybe with some alternate color schemes for where the traditional black and white goes and different colors of piping, like kart number 3.
Anybody seen those Fox karts changing up the colors on their seats? I have similar thoughts in mind for some Blackhawk seats.
My first Blackhawk, which is also my first racing kart ever, it is red, which I have thought of going red where the black goes and white piping. I have a blue Blackhawk, which I bought that way. I figure a blue and white seat. I have a burgundy Blackhawk, bought that way, yes a burgundy and white seat. Maybe I should paint one of my eight Blackhawks white, then I can proudly display the red, white and blue, made in America!
Kind Regards,
